--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the years, Alexis had discovered that her mother had been overly protective of her past, not only burying her roots but also trampling down the soil above them.
Alexis decided to uncover her mother's forgotten past.
She came to a small town on the Aegean Sea and landed on a desolate island called Spinalonga.
This was once a forbidden place, a forbidden place that the small town, the Aegean Sea, and even the whole of Europe were afraid of, and it was also a forbidden place for mothers.
The forbidden area is opened, and this seemingly abandoned island reveals an unexpected bright vitality, and a shocking secret that has been silent for half a century is about to emerge...
